At any rate, she seems happy to have them. We tried them out the first or second night after we brought them home, but I didn&#8217;t last very long. It&#8217;s hard to stay cool without the wind from actual riding.<\/p>\n<p>Charmaine bought a good-sized fan that we set up in front of the bikes. There went my I&#8217;m-too-hot-without-the-wind excuse. Tonight we decided to spin for about 30 minutes while watching some TV. It worked rather well. I was a bit scared to spin for longer than that, knowing how my swim coach enjoys long and difficult sets of kicking&#8230; and swim practice is only 24 hours away.<\/p>\n<p>My right foot started to feel really loose while riding, but I pushed on through. At the end of the ride, I couldn&#8217;t unclip my right shoe from the pedal, so I took my shoe off. Some of the screws that held the clip onto my shoe had come loose and popped out. And because I pushed through, I did quite a bit of damage to the bottom of my shoe. Hopefully we&#8217;ll be able to put it all back together and ride some more later this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got Charmaine CycleOps Fluid2 bike trainers for her birthday this year.
